Description: „"Архар" is a Soviet-era cigarette pack with a filter, which is distinguished by an elegant beige/gold background and a graphic image of a wild mountain ram in the center. The upper part of the pack is decorated with a red ribbon with the inscription "Сигареты с фильтром". Visually, the pack conveys the impression of solidity and exclusivity, characteristic of many products of the then USSR, which are associated with nature and national identity through their name or symbolism. The pack is sealed and cellophane-wrapped.
Value assessment:
Collectible value: Average. Although the design is interesting and the pack is quite rare, it is not as widely known or sought after as some of the more famous USSR releases. However, it is a great addition to a collection due to its visual uniqueness.
Condition assessment: Unopened, very good condition (original cellophane still intact, package intact).
Historical data and popularity: „The name "Arkhar" comes from a type of wild ram, native to the mountainous regions of Asia. This suggests that this edition was most likely aimed at the Asian republics of the USSR (e.g. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, or Tajikistan). There were many similar regional editions, but only a few of them were widely distributed or exported.
